Hi,
Many times a day network goes off for no reason.
I have to turn it OFF/ON or choose select network.
It is not a network problem because I have another phone on the same operator that do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Saadi
I'm so haaappy to hear this from somebody else on this planet !!! (Thought I got mad)
Exactly the same problem, but only when in ROAMING.
The network goes off several times the day and the only option is to turn off and on the phone.
Another problem connected with Roaming mode is that when dialing a number, there is one dialing tone + second dialing tone (immediately after the first one, but its faster than a normal repeating one), which is extremely loud so that I get ear pains.
What to do guys?
I was talking to the PalmOne support using my support-ticket you can get with registration but he didn't hear about that and couldn't help me.
...that's so much pitty as I love the device
Try changing the 3g band to gsm under settings/phone/service/band selection that might help
Hi,
I tried to limite to UMTS but it did not work, passed it to automatique still did not work. Will try GSM.
I have noticed that I am having this problem only at work and home where I have a wifi router near by.
Could the wifi affect reception?

Shouldn't be possible as Wi-Fi is completely different radio band and there is technically no Wi-Fi corresponding element inside the Treo. But as I think this might be a bug (firmware?) why does so few people have this problem...
It is weared, I only have this problem at work and at home.
So they must be something that affect reception.
The only thing i can notice is the presence of wifi routers.
smmonla - have you got any news about this problem?
I tried to hard-reset, to change all the bands etc. but nothing helps.
There are no problems with my new Excalibur which is also very sexy, but still I want the Treo
Hi,
Still having the same problem.
As I have read, we are not the only ones having this problem.
I also like my treo a lot.
Hope palm has a fix for this problem soon.
have a look at here. It isn't a very hot news and doesn't really help me, but still:

I have noticed that when I limit the band to GSM, I do not have the problem anymore.
Could it be an OS problem?
And now we are on the subject of 2G versus 3G, there is at least one advantage with the S620 not being a 3G mobile. You are free from the potential problem that some 3G Smartphones become “confused” regarding the continuous switch between 2G and 3G radio masts. A 3G Smartphone sometimes loses the connection to the network completely, even though it looks like you are “on”. Numerous Qtek 9000/HTC MTeoR/HTC TyTN owners have experienced this problem because some mobile operators have not optimised their networks for these types of models. These problems should be on the decline, partly because of software updates from HTC and partly because of mobile operators beginning to solve their network problems.

good to know....
I'm very close to getting the guts to change from the att "dark side" and get to this gorgious HTC ROM I hear so much about but a few last questions...
anyone have any problems with phone, 3g, or edge connectivity using HTC ROM?
does the HTC ROM show the "E" or "3G" at the top of the screen like my currently does to tell me which I'm on and what my signal strength is?
anything else I should know about before doing the switch in functionality or connectivity that I would lose with the HTC ROM?
Thanks
I can't tell you about E because when I reset, I go immediately from a momentary G to 3G.
I get H whenever I am in an active data transfer.
The indicator is the same as the Tilt ROM... Although I never saw a H on the Tilt...
You won't loose anything.

There are no problems, however as I've posted in a couple of other threads, there really isn't much to gain by moving to the HTC ROM except memory (which there is no shortage of in the ATT ROM) and the WorldCard Mobile business card OCR scanning application. Anything else you gain can also be enabled in the ATT ROM and you don't potentially void your warranty by performing a CID unlock.
Anyone successfully TETHER to laptop using the HTC ROM? Is there a icon in CONNECTION SETTINGS for MODEM?
That is the last thing I can think of that I would be pissed to lose if I moved from ATT to HTC ROM.
Thanks guys
Just wanted to ask, if anyone else has had problems with their Polaris not receiving GSM signals ?
I have a HTC TC and it shows weak signal reception in an area where I know there is full signal strength available (tested it with couple of other mobile phones and they all showed "full signal strength" = 5 "signal strength bars").
Is the TC known to be "weak" when it comes to receiving GSM signals (which I would find hard to believe) ?
Regards,
Andreas
EDIT: The TC has started to not respond to the "ON" button at times, have to to a reset in order to get it to "wake up" again. Looks like I got a dud ...
Just wondering ... is there a trend becoming visible here ?
New phone, less reception ?
Cheers,
Andreas
It may be sensible to add comments as to how much improved or how much worse the receiption is ...
As I already stated, I basically am no longer able to reliably make calls on my mobile phone because the TC gets such bad reception
How about your experience ? Are you getting "bad" sound (noise, crackling etc.) or drop outs ?
Or is the quality of the connection OK, but you are not getting a signal to actually make calls ?
Cheers,
Andreas
Are you in GSM only mode, or does it not switch from 3G to GSM?

No, my reception was poor from the "get go" ...
I did hard spl and loaded some other ROM to test, but it did not get any better ...

By your signature I see that you've upgraded to a Bepe rom and upgraded your radio. Please check this thread:
Reception Difficulties
You've updated your Radio, now you're screwed
Hi:
I'm using the 1.64.08.21 radio with Bepe .067 Premium rom and the system is doing ok with the exception that because I do not have 3G yet in my area, I have a hard time connecting to AT&T and it take a long time. When I travel to a 3G area, the phone smokes.

Darn ... sorry ... forgot to update my signature
I currently have a TC with the original ROMs.
But from what I see so far, nearly 45% report a reception that is worse than with their old phones. Not good, is it ?

I've recently got a new 3G iphone. It came with a new SIM card that is suppose to be optimized for iphone. When I put this sim card into my Touch Cruise, I am unable to get 3G. There is signal bars but I cannot make or receive phone calls. The only way to make or receive phone calls is by disabling the 3G. The same applies for Data. I thought maybe the radio ROM was not working so I changed it to the Murata ROM but I am still having problems. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Has anybody else having similar problems? Any help would be appreciated as I still find my Touch Cruise more useful than the 3G iphone.
Most probably is ur phone broken. U will have to send it to the service. Maaaaany users had/have/will have problems with calls, connections, signal strenght,bluetooth, camera, broken wheel etc. I had... Touch cruise is crapy.
If you know someone with a non-iPhone 3G sim, try theirs in your Cruise and see what happens

Actually, I did this today. Same thing happen. I would get a 3G signal but when I tried to make a call, I get no signal. But when I disable the 3G, edge works fine with voice and data.
Hi, I sufered the same problem until yesterday. I had the same problems. Yesterday I switched off the HSDPA switch in the software, after a soft reset the TC came back online. Probably worth trying?

I've tried both Murata radio roms. Both gives very good 3G signal but when I try to make a call or use data, I get no connection. I've tried the original radio ROM and some of the Kaiser ported radio Roms. They all give me no connection with 3G. In every case, when I disable the 3G, I can make calls and get data although it is only through edge and GPRS. I looked at my box for the TC and it is revision A. Do I need to send my TC for repair? I even went as far as calling my cell phone provider(Rogers) and they couldn't help me. The phone is functional but without 3G I am not getting very fast data speeds.
The problem started with my TC started after upgrading to Udk R6 and R7, after upgrading to R8 and a new radio version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
Will give you an updated radio version what will have a good match with the Udk diamond R8 Rom.
Succes, WAS
just a question, I'm on ATT, and the sim card I use on my polaris came off the iPhone3G, and I get the H (the high speed thing) sign on the phone during data sessions. on some areas I'm only able to get E and sometimes even the G sign came on and off. so I guess, maybe wherever you are, the 3G signal isn't strong enough, so you can only get edge.
and as of the other person noted, polaris is kind of at the edge of getting broken, fast. I only uses mine exclusively for web browsing for a week when the phone goes crazy. sent it to repair and everything seems to be in "sane" mode now let's hope that my phone didn't try to go insane again

You are the only person who i find with the same problem.
Thanks

Guys, maybe a silly comment but did you check the following settings : phone/menu/options/band and check select network type to auto?
I have had problems before with 3G & HSDPA. Somtimes when your registered on HSDPA and you travell away from that mast/area into an area that only has 3G or even only Edge, then device does not re-register onto the other band and you will not be bale to make calls and will miss calls. This happened for days one time and i very nearly hard reset my device in frustration, i eventually found out it was a network problem.
Another work around is going to phone/menu/networks and manually select networks and hopefully it should bring up your 3G network.
Phone operators do not like telling you that their 3G or HSPDA networks do not have good coverage or intermittent quality of signal. My 3G network only has 70% coverage & 30 % of that is HSDPA, so i sometimes end up on EDGE and hence miss calls.
Try playing around with the setting above one at a time. When im stuck i manually set band to GSM (edge), then when travelling away reset back to auto. Most of the time however it is fine.
Hi, I'm from Argentina. I had the same problem with 3G after a trip to other country. Now my TC only works well in GSM Band. Unfortunatelly we don't have service support here so if anyone knows how to fix this will be highly appreciated.
I have the same problem in my Polaris. I tried almost every radio i could find, i tried with different sim cards, i tried with official wm6 and wm6.1 roms with no result. When 3G is enabled i can not make or receive calls. I think that the problem started when i first upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1. Now i keep band selection to GSM so at least i can use my polaris as a phone. There must be something that prevents gsm connection when 3G is active. I hope a registry tweak could be found for this. I' m just one step from sending my device to be serviced.
I have the same trouble with my virgin uk sim card and t-mobile which share the same network(need to turn off 3g),but no trouble with my asda sim which uses the vodaphone network.So if you try different sim cards make sure they dont share networks.Another thing i've noticed with my virgin sim is all my preferred networks are unchecked but my phone will still connect if my 3g is turned off?
Anyone got experience setting their phone up to use the t-mobile/orange share?
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/share/
https://kareena.orange.co.uk/share/
The reason I ask is t-mobile seem to be doing the best deals around for the DHD and I REALLY want one but their coverage sucks where I live. I know the network share is new as of Oct so wondering if anyone have managed to use it yet??
I cant seem to get it to work on winmo 6.5 TP2 or with xdandroid - winpoo is locked to orange network selection and Droid never shows t-mobile network coverage, anywhere, when using manual selection :S
It works fine but the idea is (a lot of people in the desire forum were confused by this aswell) is that it switches when you get no network coverage at all.
You don't need to go and manually select the network and you can't suddenly one day decide that you prefer Orange over T-Mobile and go into network settings and change.
If your T-Mobile signal drops COMPLETELY you will start roaming on the Orange network, similar to what happens when you're abroad. As soon as your phone is then able to connect to the T-Mobile network again it will go back to T-Mobile (even if you were getting full bars on Orange and only 1 on T-Mobile).
You also only get GPRS Speeds when "Roaming".
